The only options are all pretty horrible and reminded me of an old corporate office space full of cubicles. When looking to replace them, I was mortified. They’re called troffer light panels or troffer lights) We painted the wood frame surrounding the fluorescent light fixtures as well so it’s all seamless.īut then there was the issue of the hideous plastic panels that conceal the lights and recessed box behind them. And while I would have loved that, I didn’t want the cost or extra time spent on that project.Īs much as I hate textured ceilings, my idea to paint this side in the same color as the walls ( Behr Marquee Midnight Blue) really helped give the texture a cool look that didn’t make the space feel smaller, as I worried it might. On this side though, the only way to remove them would have been to demo the entire ceiling and re-drywall the space. The other side of the space had them too but they were built in a box that hung down from the ceiling so we were able to remove them easily. The ceiling on this side is dropped with recessed boxed fluorescent lighting fixtures and flanked with a popcorn textured finish. We have pendant lamps and shades available in various different designs, letting you express your individual style.As I mentioned in my First Look at My New Office post a few days ago, I knew when I walked into this space that this is where my desk would go. If you do have a high ceiling, however, our pendant lamps and shades are a great place to start.
Instead, look for flush ceiling lights so you don’t risk bumping your head. If you have particularly low ceilings, a pendant or modern chandelier could prove to be a bit of an obstacle. But before you decide, you should consider the height of your ceilings. Our ceiling lights collection has something for every kind of room. Tips for choosing the best ceiling light fixtures for your space In these rooms, a ceiling light with a dimmer can come in handy. But once the guests leave and bedtime comes around, you might want to switch to softer mood lighting. You might want to have bright lights when entertaining guests in the living room, or when playing in the children’s room. Other rooms, such as a living room or children’s room, are multi-purpose. Your bathroom might also benefit from bright lighting for shaving or applying makeup in the morning. For example, you might want a bright ceiling light fixture in the hallway to easily find everything you need before leaving the house. In some rooms, it’s a good idea to prioritize bright, practical lighting. The second question is which room you’re lighting, and what you’re doing in the room. If you’re looking to light a workspace, such as a desk or a kitchen island – consider a flush ceiling light located directly above the work area. If you want to highlight a part of your décor, a ceiling track with spotlights might do the trick. As a general light source, a semi-flush, pendant light or chandelier located near the center of the room can be a good choice. When choosing a ceiling light fixture, the first question you need to answer is what it’s going to be used for. Whether you’re looking for a low hanging chandelier, an intricately designed pendant lamp or a ceiling track of spotlights, you’ll find plenty to choose from in our range. With ceiling lights from IKEA, you can light a room with style.
